Great Show Brian & Matt
Looking forward to your insight into this year's Derby. As you both mentioned there seems to a lot of horses this year that are "Dead Closers", I would like to hear next week how you think the actually race will be ran.
thanks

I too like Cupid in the ARK Derby, I would love to see him run a big LP number with a 102+ SPD FIG. There needs to be more TOP notch quality of horses for this year's Derby, let's hope we have one coming out of ARK.

I too like Far from over, he has a ton of heart and bred
Royalty by Blame out of A P Indy (you’ve got to just love that) however, it’s
his lack of foundation that I’m most concern about having only 3 starts before
the Derby. Carpe Diem mechanically moves perfectly. I’m most interested in watching
the return of American Pharaoh on Saturday. Dortmund is still by guy for now.

Curious to know how Carpe Diem is considered a NY horse. He was bred in KY and is a Keeneland Grad who is owned by Winstar and Stonestreet and has raced in 4 different states, and yes he did break his maiden on his first attempt up in Saratoga so I guess that makes him a NY horse?

Danza may be the BOSS, however, I’m not sure about the “Bounce” of him running such a fast race in the ARK Derby, plus he had the total “perfect” rail trip the entire way around the track and there are couple other points that needs to be addressed. First, since 1973 only 3 horses have won the Derby with a graded stakes race after March 31 and secondly, in the past 20 years only 2 horses have won the derby with only (4) career starts. With this in mind I’m only going to use Danza in the bottom of my exotics
